September15-19

Week of Sept. 2nd-12th

1. Finish taking the Benchmark tests
==2. Work on writing our letters back to Mrs. Bando's Japanese students. Since we do not have enough of their letters for all of our students, if there are any students who do not want to write a letter, I will give their letter to someone else, and they can do a one-page brief report on Japan. Both the letter and the report are worth 20 points and due Friday.==

and "How can we write clearer sentences?"
==2. Today, I will preview the clear sentence unit and assign a note-taking activity that will be started in class but will be completed in study hall and/or at home this week (due in class Friday).==

Please see Mrs. Flynn to make up your Benchmark
==1. Periods 1 & 2 - go back to the "clear sentence" note-taking guide. We will go over how to do this in class and take about 10 minutes to work on it in class, the rest is to be finished outside of class and due on Friday.== ==2. Students will be introduced to the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and will choose groups and a habit number. They will then follow the rubric to learn about their habit and create a skit or activity that they will teach to the rest of the class.==
